More Than A Feeling

Déjà vu
Because the bombardment of Libya has begun and the no-fly zone is in place, there is no point now in arguing the case for or against intervention. We have intervened, and, for better or for worse, we will now be partly responsible for the outcome — and one of the ways in which we can promote a better outcome is to make sure we keep expectations low.

Days after saying that President Obama’s authorization of U.S. intervention in Libya is an “impeachable offense,” Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) is now using his criticism of the president in a fundraising appeal.

For instance, nearly 12,500 Americans have joined high-risk pools that were created to cover people who were rejected by insurance companies because of medical problems. The enrollment so far is about 3 percent of government forecasts.…Against that backdrop of public uncertainty, proponents are using this week to highlight what they call the legislation’s benefits. “I’ve really been able to see firsthand how the new law is already helping Americans get the treatment and medicine they need,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said in a conference call Tuesday with journalists and older Americans.

Who exactly is it that Sebelius sees? Is it the 3%?
